Donating their legs to science

Thousands of people gather on a rainy Saturday morning at Cal Anderson Park to join the March for Science.

The peaceful protest geared toward the Trump administration’s funding cuts to scientific programs such as the Environmental Protection Agency — which is losing 31 percent of its funding — traveled through downtown to Westlake Park, then onto Seattle Center.

Many marchers dressed in lab coats; others carried signs with scientific or political quips, such as “Make America Logical Again.”

Some carried distinctly anti-Trump signs, such as a photo of Trump under a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “We are all born ignorant but one must work hard to remain stupid.” Another simply said, “π in the face.”
